This weekend, it’s breakfast with the Dolphins. After last week’s disastrous 20-6 loss to the New York Jets, though, you might want to eat before the Dolphins take on the New Orleans Saints at 9:30 a.m. in London, just to be sure your meal isn’t spoiled.
NFL owners are a racist lot, but Donald Trump threw them a lifeline by calling players who protest the National Anthem “sons of bitches” who ought to be fired.
Dwyane Wade’s triumphant return to his hometown is already over. Wade and the Bulls agreed to a buyout last night, meaning he is now free to sign with any NBA team. Even though D-Wade is now 35 years old, he’s still moving the needle around the NBA. Teams such as Oklahoma City, San Antonio, Milwaukee, and Miami are all reportedly interested in signing him on the eve of training camp, but the consensus seems to be that Wade is leaning toward a reunion with LeBron James in Cleveland.
For a minute, it appeared Donald Trump had sewn up the deadbeat-parent vote for his reelection campaign. Last week, an article declaring “Child Support Said to End by Beginning of 2018″ thanks to a new law signed by the commander in chief appeared on the Facebook page of the website react365.com.
The Hurricane Irma recovery effort is in full swing, but once again Miami’s hardest-hit African-American communities have to fend for themselves.
Four days after Irma, millions of Floridians are still stuck without power in the sweltering summer heat. Those outages have now killed eight elderly people trapped in a Hollywood nursing home without air conditioning, due to circumstances that FPL was warned about at least two days before the tragedy.
While the rest of the NFL was engulfed in the hope and excitement that comes with the first week of a new season, the Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers sat at home, watching Hurricane Irma plow through their hometowns. The NFL did the right thing by canceling their game and deciding to make it up November 19, a week when both teams were supposed to have a bye.
If you steal three pairs of shoes from Foot Locker, a worldwide retail chain that made a $664 million profit in 2016, Florida’s news stations will broadcast images of you stealing things on TV, Fox News will call you a menace to society, and people will tweet about how you…
The word hurricane is rich with symbolism that evolves from indigenous Caribbean mythology and even deeper roots in Mayan culture. There are various accounts about the origin of the word, but most agree that Spanish explorers in the 16th Century spelled it phonetically as juracán (“wind of center”), the word Taíno natives…
Miami Hurricanes fans didn’t learn much about the most recent incarnation of their football team in Saturday afternoon’s sleepy, business-like 41-13 win over Bethune-Cookman. To be honest, the biggest news to come out of the game was the fact that Hurricanes defensive players get to rock a gold “Turnover Chain” after each…
Giancarlo Stanton has always been known for murdering baseballs at an alarming rate, but this season his dong-shooting bazooka-bat has been working overtime at launching dingers straight into the sun. Stanton’s historic pace has transformed the Marlins’ 2017 from just another forgettable season of mediocrity into a year in which the Fish are just a couple of matchups out of the NL wildcard chase and playing games that matter well into September.
Dwyane Wade has a big decision to make. The Miami Heat legend clearly wants to leave the Chicago Bulls, who blew up their roster in the off-season after a disappointing year. But where to go? Heat fans have dreamed of him coming back to Dade County, but there’s another equally strong possibility: rejoining LeBron James, this time on the hated Cleveland Cavaliers.
If there’s one thing Miami fans have learned over the past few years, it’s that no NBA offseason would be complete without a conspiracy theory involving a prominent player linked to the Heat. The latest rumor, though, isn’t about just any big-name player No, this delicious trail of NBA offseason breadcrumbs hints at the potential return of Dwyane Wade, the greatest player in Heat history. Remember him? Yup. Same guy.
After Donald Trump’s incendiary comments providing cover for the neo-Nazis and other white supremacists who terrorized Charlottesville, we’ve witnessed a lot of pearl-clutching from the Republican Party’s leaders in government and the media. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell condemned “hate and bigotry.” House Speaker Paul Ryan railed that “white supremacy…
How did you become a Miami Dolphins fan? That simple question has a seemingly endless number of answers. No matter how each of us got here, here we are, rooting for the Dolphins year in and year out, enduring the inevitable early-season disappointments, the crushing midseason defeats, and the late-season collapses. If you’re still with us at this point, you are a real one.
Last week, Miami native Devonta Freeman became the highest paid running back in the NFL when he signed a five-year contract extension with the Atlanta Falcons worth $41.25 million that includes a $15 million signing bonus. It’s a remarkable accomplishment for a young man who has earned his place as…
Donald Trump’s Twitter race to nuclear Armageddon is both terrifying and terrible policy. Trump’s own secretary of state and defense chief have pushed back. Everyone from John McCain to Congressional GOP leaders to every Democrat in Washington has condemned the tactic. And even Trump’s staff now admits that he decided…
For Miami Dolphins fans, Ryan Tannehill’s knee injury on one of the first days of training camp set an all-time record for quickest disappointment. Normally, the Dolphins wait until the actual regular season begins to rip out fans’ hearts, so seeing the star quarterback succumb to a serious knee injury…
Last season, Kaepernick infuriated a small racist segment of NFL fans and sports pundits by taking a knee during the singing of the National Anthem to protest police brutality against blacks
The Miami Heat is reportedly one of more than 20 teams that have inquired about acquiring disgruntled Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving. ESPN reports Pat Riley and the Heat are willing to send Goran Dragic and Justise Winslow to Cleveland in exchange for Irving. Not all Heat fans are thrilled by the thought of breaking up an overachieving Miami Heat team poised to run it back in 2017, though.
John McCain is a maverick for real. The Arizona senator upended his party’s seven-year mission to eradicate Obamacare by voting no late last night on a Republican bill that would have eliminated parts of the Affordable Care Act after the GOP-led Senate failed to repeal and replace the health-care law.
Marco Rubio, a neatly pressed white shirt stuffed with millions of dollars in health-care lobbyist money, will almost certainly vote to repeal Obamacare this afternoon, leaving tens of millions nationwide without health coverage, including more than two million right here in Florida.
